Osteria dei Gusti

We went here to celebrate a birthday and it was taken into consideration with a surprise dessert and a candle which we appreciated a lot! Our server Pasquale took great care of us and was very attentive. Service was very pleasant and timely. Food was authentic Italian flavoured without trying to be something else which is great! Also, if you’re on the fence of getting a cocktail, get it because our cocktails, though classic, were the best ones we’ve had!

Great value for lunch! We enjoyed the food. The risotto was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The service was non-existent. They had us order and pay before sitting down. I thought that was strange for a sit down restaurant but figured that was their policy until we saw other tables paying after their meal. Definitely made us feel uncomfortable.

I recently visited with my sister on our holiday to Finland and we had a wonderful time. The staff were so kind and lovely and the service was impeccable; our food was delivered promptly and the pasta was packed with flavour. We also tried the tiramisu, which was excellent. It was clear that everything was made fresh and with lots of love and care. I highly recommend visiting.

A nice italian restaurant within a walking distance from the central Helsinki! With the staff being italian the athmosphere is very nice! + delicious food + great location (quiet street) + reasonable prices + good wines - slightly passive service

We dined at the restaurant last year after our wedding and today we returned to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary. We visited with our 3 month old son. From start to finish the entire dining experience was, once again, perfect. Pasquale, who was our amazing waiter and front of house, called us the evening before to confirm our baby was welcome at the restaurant and on arrival he did everything to ensure that all 3 of us (and our pram) was accommodated for - from giving us a great table, to ensuring the door was closed so no wind went on the baby and whilst dining he came to see our baby boy and talked about his own family which was lovely. When we left he helped us lift the pram outside. We truly appreciated his generosity and extremely warm welcome. The food, as always, was amazing. Fresh ingredients and flawless handmade pasta. We ate bruschetta, cold cuts and cheese focaccia platter, carbonara, tortellini and pistachio pannacotta and gelato for dessert. You can taste the love and quality in the food. The restaurant was so thoughtful and even wrote ‘happy anniversary’ on our dessert. We had a really special celebration and an amazing experience. The best restaurant in Helsinki. We would definitely recommend.
